This contributes to achieving the UAE Strategy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which aims to strengthen the UAE's position as a global hub for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and increase its contribution to a knowledge-based national economy that depends on innovation and future technological application,'' said Al Tayer.
''The ‘AI Procurement in a Box’ will contribute to expanding government adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies including AI. It also enhances the competitiveness and efficiency of government organisations, as it provides a reliable tool to manage AI procurement, which is a key pillar to enhance their digital transformation," he added.
